Awakening Poem by Janice M Pickett

We have it all
The ability to achieve whatever
our hearts desire
Biblical facts state

Seek and ye shall find
Knock and the door will open

My heart aches from hurting
it has been ripped apart
It cries out for mercy
It cannot fathom the attitudes

The pain is deep
the wounds deeper
Faith reigns supreme
over negativity

Daunting as it may be
I must hold on and
stay strong for all to witness
That is my blessing

To those who know and understand
I say thank you
To those still suspicious I say OK

But for me
I have the knowledge
and I shall stand tall
against all odds until
honour and victory
are mine
